NAPLES, WATCH OUT FOR MAN UNITED: LANDS ON KVARATSKHELIA. MEANWHILE POLL FOR PIO ESPOSITO. JUVENTUS, ALL THE NAMES FOR DEFENSE. IN ATTACK, HOWEVER, THERE IS INTEREST IN ZIRKZEE. NAPLES AND JUVE, AMONG OTHERS, ALSO THINK ABOUT EZE FROM THE CRYSTAL PALACE. ATALANTA, ARSENAL IS ON RETEGUI. FIORENTINA ON SUCIC. TURIN, VAGNATI’S RENEWAL IS NOT COMING
NAPLES
It was only a matter of time before someone swooped on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and what was serious, as reported by SportMediaset, was Manchester United, who wanted to tempt him with a 5-year contract at 8 million euros net per season plus an easy bonus reachable. Napoli would like to renew the agreement with the Georgian, but De Laurentiis does not intend to go beyond 6 million euros per year, including bonuses. Should the parties fail to reach an agreement, the Neapolitan club would consider the idea of selling him, but for no less than 100 million euros, whether it be all cash or with the inclusion of a technical compensation. PSG also remains vigilant, while Barcelona is more out of the way.
Pio Esposito great protagonist with Spezia. And the market lights up. There was a survey from Napoli for the striker owned by Inter. President De Laurentiis and sporting director Manna with agent Mario Giuffredi took the field directly. The young striker from D’Angelo’s team stood out with goals and performances of great importance. It is inevitable to attract the attention of Serie A. Inter is smiling as they keep an eye on his talent. And the market lights up with Napoli seriously trying. Pio Esposito can represent an investment for the future. The present is called Spezia, with the match against Palermo upon us. The future will most likely be Serie A. Pio Esposito is already at the center of the market…
JUVENTUS
Joshua Zirkzee probably imagined a slightly different first season at Manchester United. As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Thiago Motta continues to monitor his situation, while in the meantime the Red Devils fans have included him on social media among the worst signings in the club’s history. Even the English company seems to be aware of having made the wrong deal. In January Juventus will certainly be at the forefront and they will try to understand the feasibility of the deal. In addition to him, there are other profiles among those surveyed such as Lorenzo Lucca, also at the top of Cristiano Giuntoli’s list of preferences. Udinese is not an accommodating interlocutor, but contacts with his agent have started and will continue. The valuation of the Friulians is around 25 million euros, the formula needs to be understood. Not easy to get to Jonathan David, Beto is an interesting striker, but at the same time in the last year and a half he hasn’t played much at Everton. At the moment Juventus only has Dusan Vlahovic as their first pure striker, given that Arek Milik has been on the sidelines since the beginning of the season. There are also some regrets among the fans about the sale of Moise Bioty Kean, who is doing very well at Fiorentina.
Net of the assessments on the attack and the trust placed in Milik’s return, Juventus continues to have the primary need to intervene in defense in the January transfer window. The injuries to first Bremer and then Cabal have reduced Thiago Motta’s possible rotations to the bone and that is therefore where Cristiano Giuntoli’s main efforts are being concentrated. Despite the rumors coming from France about a possible move on Milan Skriniar, a former Inter player who is not finding space at PSG, for Tuttosport one of the profiles they like most is that of Antonio Silva, a centre-back owned by Benfica for whom, however, it would be necessary to find a formula defined as ‘creative’. A loan deal could open with Arsenal for Jakub Kiwior, a player that Giuntoli himself had already negotiated during his time at Napoli. Similar story for Radu Dragusin: the Romanian is known at Continassa, in England he is not finding the space hoped for after the transfer from Genoa and so a return to Italy cannot be ruled out, with Napoli also interested. Closing with Ben Chilwell: the Chelsea player would mainly reinforce the left lane, orphaned by Juan Cabal who in recent hours underwent surgery to reconstruct his cruciate.
A new transfer siren appears which leads to England and the Premier League for two great teams in our championship. Juventus and Napoli, in fact, are competing for the signature of Eberechi Eze (26 years old), a Crystal Palace midfielder who is shining with his talent and versatility on the pitch. This was written by the TuttoJuve.com portal, which reports that the 26-year-old has attracted the attention of top European clubs for his ability to break defenses, his vision of the game and his ability to score. Eze has stood out this season with 4 goals and 2 assists in 12 games. His ability to beat defenders, his vision of the game and his ability to score goals from different attacking positions make him a very complete player. Furthermore, Eze has great versatility, being able to operate both in midfield and on the wings. Its valuation is around 30 million euros.
ATALANTA
Mateo Retegui in the sights of the big names. According to what was reported by Il Giornale, this did not prevent the top clubs from watching him live to understand his potential up close: the club that was more interested than the others was Arsenal, who, through their scouts, observed him play . However, the Goddess is asking for at least 45 million euros, 20 more than those spent in the summer.
TURIN
The newspaper Tuttosport, in its today’s version, returned to the situation at Turin with a particular focus on Davide Vagnati’s moment. The director has his contract expiring at the end of this season and in recent weeks the agreement for a renewal until 2027 seemed to have been reached. However, Toro has never deposited anything, which is why doubts about tomorrow increase. For this reason the manager is waiting, and even on the market he doesn’t have much room for maneuver: on the one hand the uncertainties about the budget for January, on the other the stop to the various negotiations for the renewals of the players, from Samuele Ricci to Linetty and Vojvoda, both expiring. The failure to file the renewal, which certainly does not mean goodbye until proven otherwise, has turned on the radars of several interested teams: in the past there had been talk of Sampdoria and Como for Vagnati’s future, today according to the newspaper his profile could of interest and not a little to Parma. President Kause’s company currently relies on Pederzoli and scout chief Notari, but a further addition to the management organization chart seems likely. And Vagnati’s name, if the renewal continues not to arrive, could heat up in a very short time.
FLORENTINA
Petar Sucic in the sights of Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina. ‘Sky Sport’ writes it: after the lily club, the German club has also made a move for the midfielder born in 2003 from Dinamo Zagreb who was sought by Como in the summer and today – we read – has a rather high transfer market valuation. Last season Sucic played 42 matches, of which 25 in the Croatian championship, 6 in the Croatian Cup, scoring one goal per competition, 7 in the Conference League, one in the Europa League preliminaries and 3 in the Champions League preliminaries. Despite being born in 2003 and therefore relatively young, he has already become champion of Croatia and champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina, also winning a Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup, a Croatian Cup and a Croatian Super Cup. This year he has made 17 appearances, with three goals scored, two of which in the Champions League.
ATLETICO MADRID, PRESIDENT CEREZO REASSURES YOU ABOUT SIMEONE’S FUTURE. INTER MIAMI, THE FORMER BARCELONA COLONY IS EXPANDING: MASCHERANO THE NEW COACH
Despite rumors of a possible farewell at the end of the season, Atletico Madrid seems to want to hold on to Diego Simeone. This was declared by the president, Enrique Cerezo, who followed the team to Prague, where this evening they will play the match valid for the fifth day of the championship phase of the Champions League: “Doubts? They don’t bother, there’s nothing strange or uncomfortable You always ask me: we are happy with the coach, we have a good squad. We are in the top three in the league and close to the leader. The coach is not leaving, everyone is happy and happy.”
After the rumors of the last few days, now comes the official announcement: Javier Mascherano is the new coach of Inter Miami after the end of the relationship with Gerardo Martino. Agreement until June 2027. El Jefecito will therefore lead a team full of old teammates, from Lionel Messi to Luis Suarez up to Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, in an attempt to finally win the MLS title, which surprisingly slipped away this year .
